How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 17 weeks, 4 months Friday
How do you feel? zombie-like, also I can't take H's joking like I usually can. Especially when he jokes about sleep. He got 18 hours straight and I'm still bitter. Also, I know he was joking but acting like it's a big deal he watched E yesterday morning and put dinner together so I could feed her makes me want to stab him.
Any Milestones this week? nope. She has no desire to roll over. She does want to sit up. She did fall asleep drowsy last night. I gave up trying this weekend, but I had to pee so I put her in her crib with her sea creatures soother on (lights and music). She stared at it... when I checked she was slow blinking. I went to get ready for bed and she was sucking her thumb going to sleep - WIN!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? See: How do you feel.
How many weeks: 24w1d
How are you feeling? Just tired. I still haven't been sleeping all that great, but better that I got a body pillow. It's just a cheap one they had at the grocery store, but it's helping. Now, if I didn't have to get up to pee every couple of hours, I may be able to get some decent rest.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? This is going to be a long rant. I'm starting to get really stressed out about our living situation and how much stuff I want/need to get done in the next few months. The living situation is shitty because we don't have much room and it's hard to keep things organized and clean. I feel like everything is such a mess all the time and it's stressing me out. I almost lost it this weekend when I went into the bathroom my H and stepdaughters use and saw blue toothpaste all over the sink, counter, hand towel and wall. Like, how in the hell does that happen!?!? Is it really that hard to brush your teeth and rinse off your mouth? I know their kids, but come on! I guess my biggest stress factor is that I'm starting to become less and less mobile/capable of doing things so I feel rushed to get it done before I just can't anymore. But, my available time is already so limited, and most of that time, I'm too tired to do anything anyway. H keeps saying we'll get it done and not to worry, but it's kind of hard to not worry when I'm the one working on things while he's playing his stupid video games. And, don't get me wrong, he deserves to relax and he works so hard during the week, so I hate to put anything extra on him, but I just wish he'd see how much I'm freaking out and extend a helping hand because he wants to and not because I asked him.
CD/DPO: CD5
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: So not there yet
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: My cycle, which is usually 24-25 days, decided to last a full 28, apparently just for the sake of starting my period at an inconvenient time and cheesing me off. My cycle is weird, my temping is weird, and this process is already starting to frustrate me.
@mrshall1027 - yea we use pacifiers, but once she goes to sleep she spits it out. She used to love them, but now she prefers her fingers... all of them, at the same time. She only uses the paci now when she's done eating and going to sleep as I rock her. If I try to put it in when she's in her crib crying she seals her mouth shut lol. She's pretty stubborn.
@mpjf1001 - that is sad she doesn't like to be rocked. E does, it's the transition from glider to crib that gets us. If she kind of wakes up, but puts herself back down with the soother I'll be so happy! Otherwise I'm getting back in the glider and starting all over.
Cycle/Month: 16/19 (4AL)
CD/DPO: 23/7
2WW
Testing plans: 14 dpo per the RE
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I got in with another RE who is highly recommended and my insurance confirmed they are in-network even though the search site didn't show them! This week is all drs. FU with our current RE since he did the testing to see what he recommends. Then the new office could get us in on Friday!! So hopefully his plan can move forward next cycle which will probably start mid next week!!
Otherwise I'm f'ing exhausted again. Progesterone is creating a zombie again this cycle.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 months yesterday.
How do you feel? I hate my placement. But the post-partum depression seems to be under control.
Any Milestones this week? DS has a tooth coming in and can push himself up in a sitting position. He can "crawl" which is more of a shimmy across the floor.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? He's not gaining weight very well. My gp has referred us to a pediatric specialist next month just to make sure nothing else is going on. Currently he's so miserable with teething and a bad cold. This is further compounding his weight issue since he's not eating great. We even had a dry diaper overnight. Luckily he seems to have increased his output and we're just monitoring right now. Happy wet weight gaining thoughts would be appreciated!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 weeks, how did that happen?
How do you feel? Fine, I'm becoming agoraphobic. I never want to leave the house, the flu is out there and DS must stay protected! I actually have really bad anxiety about taking him in public because I'm scared he'll get sick. I think I'll feel better about it once he gets his two month shots.... maybe.
Any Milestones this week? I've gotten a few social smiles. He also really likes to mimic DH's faces. His hands are moving with more and more purpose. He's been grabbing my hair a lot.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I said that I would never cosleep. Well, I fell asleep nursing him one night and woke up 3 hours later. He now refuses to sleep anywhere else. I can sometimes get him into the rock n play, but not in the pack n play. I'm trying to convert him into sleeping on his own, but it takes a lot of my sleep and sanity so it will be a slow process.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 months
How do you feel? Good. We are back in the rhythm of work and daycare after the holidays.
Any Milestones this week? He started "cruising" this week. Pulling himself up on furniture and walking. I am so no prepared for a walking baby! Crawling is bad enough!

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 18 months...
How do you feel? good
Any Milestones this week? She had her 18 month well check up last Thurs. She only gained 5 oz since her 15 month check up, but grew 2 in. The ped wasnt too worried, she is more active now and she eats a lot so Im not worried either. She is def going to be a peanut.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? nada
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 weeks on Thursday and 1 month on Sunday
How do you feel? Sleepy and My c-section scar is irritated by pants and when I sit certain ways.
Any Milestones this week? He gave us a few social smiles, he has longer awake periods and we can get him down for a nap in his crib ( He will tolerate it at least once).
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? This might be long. I'm annoyed with my H friend who came over for dinner. I've never been a huge fan of his but I can usually tolerate him. The first thing He says when He gets there is I don't look pregnant anymore. He saw us at the hospital so he knew the baby was here. Him and his wife continue to talk about My stomach going down and about it being the breastfeeding. If you think I lost weight since the baby arrived there are more tactful ways of saying so. Also we pushed off seeing them for weeks since we got home cuz their daughter was sick. She started to cough and it sounded like a deep raspy cough ( it wasn't constant but still happened a few times so it could be nothing but with a newborn it bothers me). The first time they had her wash her hands, and again when she coughed a second time but on the third time they didn't. This was when they were about to hold Eli and she was all up and in his face and touching his hands. So now I'm worried he might get sick and if he does I will be pissed. Also this is the same friend who was going to have a football game get together this past weekend that I was worried about being around a bunch of people with Eli cuz I don't want him to get sick so we stayed home.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 months
How do you feel? Tired, hating work more and more every day.
Any Milestones this week? We had O's 5 month check up on Monday. She is currently 11 lbs 8 oz and 24 inches long. She is a peanut! The doctor said she's advanced with a lot of skills, which made us happy. Her first tooth is pretty close to breaking through, I am watching like a hawk. She's getting really really vocal, more than ever.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Everyone tells me that the longer you work, the easier it is to leave. I find every day more challenging than the day before to leave. O is fine when I leave, I kiss her and give her to H and she smiles at me. H says she gets really happy when the babysitter arrives. I want to cry on my drive. Leaving her every morning is the worst part of my day and I can't stop thinking about her all day. It doesn't help that at least 1 kid asks about O daily. The babysitter told me on Monday that O is realizing when I come home and she waits now. She has been cheaping out on her nap that should be finishing as I'm getting home, I think because she is excited to see me.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 15 weeks this past Tuesday
How do you feel? Tired. We had a couple of rough nights this week. I'm hoping that Wren's not getting sick.
Any Milestones this week? She shows signs of trying to roll from back to belly, but she hasn't gotten any farther than rolling onto her side yet. She's able to entertain herself for slightly longer periods, usually when she's in her exersaucer. We also think she might start cutting her 2 bottom teeth soon...
